Keywords, options and values enclosed in [ ] are optional.
A number specifying the preferred screen number for that screen may optionally follow each Screen. When no screen number is specified, it is numbered according to the order in which it is listed. Next comes the ScreenID, a required field that must be enclosed in double quotes. The ScreenID must match an Identifier in a Screen section. The remaining information on the line is optional. Next comes the physical position of the screen, either in absolute terms or relative to another screen (or screens). Finally the XY coordinates of the screen may be specified.
The position keywords are:
Absolute
RightOf
LeftOf
Above
Below
Relative
The preferred method of specifying the layout is to explicitly specify the screen's location in absolute terms or relative to another screen.
The examples are based on the examples listed in the DESIGN document from XFree86.
In the absolute case, the upper left corner's coordinates are given after the Absolute keyword. If the coordinates are omitted, a value of (0,0) is assumed. An example of absolute positioning follows:
